Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Turlough's revelation of his Trion exile and the Misos Triangle as a 'mark of a prisoner' (Plan 18) directly parallels his spectral presence in the TARDIS during the Doctor's hallucinatory visions of companions (Plan 22), where he voices warnings about the Doctor's enemies. This reinforces his arc as a displaced exile whose caution and strategic thinking persist even when physically absent."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Turlough's exile trauma and technical mastery of Trion systems (exemplified by his manipulation of salvaged devices in Plan 18) culminates in his role as a spectral voice of warning and reason in the Doctor's regeneration crisis (Plan 22). This continuity stitches his isolation on Sarn to his ongoing influence in the TARDIS crew's dynamics, suggesting his exile has shaped his relationship with the Doctor across time and space.
